Hi,

is there any reasonable way to keep any "stable"
installation (those done without using "~x86" in
package.keywords) in /usr while anything installed
as "unstable" (using "~x86) under /usr/local ?

best regards,
mcc

I doubt that could ever work. How would you deal with an ebuild moving from unstable to stable?

As per definition /usr/local is only for user stuff, no ebuild will ever
install into it anything. But what you can di is using a prefix:
